The ignorance here is so profound it takes my breath away. Cancer is not one disease. It is many. Nonetheless, the survival figures have improved VASTLY in the last half century. Of course the anti-science crowd never looks up anything, never reads, never thinks.

We know why they hate Frederick Douglass. "I did not hesitate to let it be known of me that the white man who expected to succeed in whipping me must also succeed in killing me." One of the greatest lines in all of literature.

One wonders if the people who ask AI to construct this b.s. believe that children are born in litters. They'd have to be to fulfill the grotesque fantasy in that image.

Everyone knows it's upsetting. Most of us also know that there were other issues at stake that were even more upsetting than that: like the deaths of so many people the morgues wouldn't hold them all in some places. Trying to prevent worsening that was crucial.

This is exactly what I feared. Kids hear books being described as forbidden is only going to make them fear getting in trouble for reading books. Some might push back, but who wants ANY child to get the idea that reading is a terrifying thing to do they can be punished for?

I'm a rapist's daughter. It's why reproductive rights are the feminist issue I've worked for hardest. Anyone who thinks "life" is enough of a reason to put multiple people through hell for years is a lot more interested in their own fantasy than anyone's reality.

So weird watching this country descend into utter lawlessness when it was always obvious that's what would happen if Trump were elected. Obviously millions of us understood that, too, and we still do. Get him OUT of the White House! Preferably in handcuffs.

Yeah, right, since Democrats have been the only party even trying to fund education for decades now. The GOP is anti-education and everyone with an education knows it!

So "rape victim" is her identity for life, and it means she is permanently on the verge of being "shamed"? I would like to opt out of that extension of "rape victim," because I am one and I am not that easily shamed. But that may also be because I'm not a shameful Republican.

I feel for Savannah, whose entire life was built on HIS lie. Three daughters' lives too. Oh, yeah, he used her, and he knows it. He used her to chase a vision that he knew would secure his entitlement, and he has learned to speak of it in a smarmy way to convince himself.

Hey, Trumpers, this is the way a real president handles a crisis. "We're not leaving until the job is done," he says, and I know he means it. It's not just a photo op!
President Biden just held a press conference on Hurricane Helene.
This is what leaders do.
They don't go down to a disaster zone and pull resources away from the community for vanity's sake like Donald Trump is going to do in Valdosta, Georgia.

Interesting! I've been active in feminism for half a century and it never seemed to have a thing to do with "shaming" men unless they were violent, and I thought the legal system already did that. Feminism is about empowering women and making us safe and equal. That's it.

Upsetting in different ways: one of them very personal and the other one motivated by concern for both oneself and the public. They were in conflict for a lot of people, and that I get. I don't get still being angry about it. Millions died around the world.

That is the essential dilemma of feminism, and the simplest answer is probably that masculinity itself is often defined as "not a woman" because in that system "woman" is automatically weak, stupid, and inferior.

I am a rapist's daughter. I am this alleged "positive outcome." It still ruined my mother's life, she had not wanted children, and she struggled to conceal what had happened from me and everyone else. We had little money and I was always alone. It should not have happened.

The impulse of this entire "movement" seems to be primitivism or essentialism. The wealthy at the top will never have to endure it, of course. But the rest of us are supposed to give up vaccines and birth control, get up at 4 when the sun comes up in the summer, and toil.
